Guiding School Change

Inspirational and focused, this volume will guide individuals on the front lines of school reform. Written by leading teachers and scholars and drawn from the real life and work of practitioners committed to change, these narratives shed much light on an increasingly important subject, the role and work of change agents. Highlighting the critical roles of change agents such as negotiators, nurturers, teachers, learners, and curriculum developers, the contributors show why the preparation and support of those who take on the mantle of facilitator in a change initiative must be better understood and articulated. To read this book is to step inside the critical role of change agents who face the formidable obstacles that challenge educational reform in our schools.
